Confusing expression in "The Hobbit" Hello, everyone! I've already looked through the definition of the expression "There is a good fellow", but I still haven't found any suitable answer - suitable for this context - "Put on a few eggs, there's a good fellow!" Does it mean just "please" in this context? Context: “Now we are all here!” said Gandalf, looking at the row of thirteen hoods—the best detachable party hoods—and his own hat hanging on the pegs. “Quite a merry gathering! I hope there is something left for the late-comers to eat and drink! What’s that? Tea! No thank you! A little red wine, I think for me.” “And for me,” said Thorin. “And raspberry jam and apple-tart,” said Bifur. “And mince-pies and cheese,” said Bofur. “And pork-pie and salad,” said Bombur. “And more cakes—and ale—and coffee, if you don’t mind,” called the other dwarves through the door. “Put on a few eggs, THERE'S A GOOD FELLOW!” Gandalf called after him, as the hobbit stumped off to the pantries.

timzhuk, "There's a good fellow" is not a common expression, but it could be translated into Russian as "Вот молодец!". It is a kind of praise for the hobbit who was providing the food.

yes, it means please. like a thank you or praise in advance of an expected act we might also say, be a good fellow and pour me a drink.
